The narrator, a young boy living in Nigeria, tells the reader about his "magician" grandfather, a traditional healer. The narrator also introduces us to some of his other relatives, briefly explaining the jobs they hold. Illustrated with full-color photographs, the brief text provides a sense of life in contemporary Nigeria in a way that the usual "facts about" approach does not.
